rpHANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
By tlieCiovernor of tlic State of Texas
With the closing days ol the year it
is meet and proper that a Christian
people put behind them the labor and
toil of their usual avocations, and
reverently bow in humble thankfulness
to the Giyer ol all good for the files-sings
and mercies he lias been pleased
to vouchsafe. While His chastening
hand has been laid heavily upon some,
abundant mercies have crowned t lie
year throughout this State in bountiful
crops, in freedom from pestilence, in
the preservation of our liberties, in the
general employment ot our people, and
in the ample rewards which follow
honest industry. With thankful hearts
let us make manifest our gratitude, by
a more earnest love of Him and an in-creased
charity for our neighbor, re-membering
that ‘-the whole world is a
family,” with God overall.
The President of the United States
having designated THURSDAY, NO-YR
AIDER 25, as a day of thanksgiving
and praise throughout the United
States, now, therefore, I, Richard
Coke, Governor of Texas, in accord-anee
with a custom which is inter-
Woven with our nutionol life, do re-commend
to the good people of the
State on that day to abstain from all
secular employment, to assemble in
their usual places of worship and
around their family hearthstones, and
while remembering to relieve from
their surplus store the necessities of
the poqr and friendless, to offer up
sinee’re and heartfelt thanks to the
Giver of all good for the manifold
blessings lie has been pleased to shower
upon us ns a people.
In testimony whereof, I have here-
, . unto signed my name and
j i„ s. v caused the great seal ot the
* -rv— ’ State to be aftixed, at the
city of Austin, the 17th day of Novcm-her,
in the year of our Loid, 1875,
and the independence of Texas the
fortieth. RICHARD COKE,
By the Governor: Governor.

LADIES’ DEPARTMENT,
KINDS OF TEAS.
Oolong teas are very highly dried, of
wiry, brittle leaf, and valued according
to the degree of strength they possess,
their pungency and freedom from dust.
Souchongs are the very strongest
black teas. Their leaves are large,
thin and often broken. The infusion
is clear, golden and quite aromatic.
Congou teas have small, short, gray-lshsblack
leaves.
Gunpowder is a heavy tea, of a dark,
green hue, and the leaves are rolled up
into hard halls.
Imperials are in larger grains than
are the gunpowders, and in color are of
a silvery-green.
ROSES.
Just now' we can with feeling sing
“The Last Rose of Summer.” Their
foliage, as well as the last bloom, will
soon be withered and dead. They
have now done their duty for the sea-son,
and surely deserve care that will
be most likely to bring them out in
the spring sound.
In latitude 45° we have seen the
teas. Bengals and -Bourbons, most of
which will be killed to the ground, if
not outright, when left unprotected,
easily saved witli a little care and labor.
Trim out the dead and surplus wood
and drive a stake in beside the stem;
then tie all the branches up to this in
as small a space as possible; then set
straw around, not less than three
inches thick; tie with twine or wire,
bank a little earth up around the stock
below, and cover the ground well with
litter of any kind.
For the straggling kinds that have
no branches to tie up, cover a foot
deep with fresh leaves and throw brush
on to keep ’ the wind from blowing
them away. A few hours’ work will
suffice to do this, for which anyone
will be well rewarded.
Bulbs should be packed away in fine
dry sand, and placed where frost can
not enter. Roses taken into the house
and bloomed during the winter, must
not be expected to bloom well early
next summer.
EVERTON TAFFY.
Put into a preserving pan or kettle
three ounces of very fresh butter; as
soon as it is just melted, put in a
pound of brown sugar. When half
done, add the grated rind of a lemon;
keep it stirred |gently on a very clear
fire, for fifteen minutes, or until if you
drop it on a plate it will break quickly.
FRECKLES.
Small round freckles can be removed
by the application of chloride water
every night aud morning, allowing it
to dry in. For the more dense ones,
chloride of lime, one to ten, fifteen or
twenty parts of water, according to the
sensitiveness of the skin. When
using the stronger solutions, merely
touch the spots with a moistened cam-el’s
hair brush.
IMMORTALITY OF THE BEAUTIFUL.
There is nothing—no, nothing—
beautiful that dies and is forgotten.
An infant, a prattling child dying in
its cradle, will live again in the better
thoughts of those who loved it, and
play its part, though the body be
burned to ashes or drowned- in the
deepest sea. There is not an angel
added to the blessed hosts of heaven
but does its blessed work on earth in
those who loved it here. Dead!'oh,
if the good deeds of human creatures
could be traced to their source, how
beautiful would even death appear,
for how much charity, mercy and puri-fied
affection would be seen to have
their growth in dusty graves.
LAUGHING CHILDREN.
Give me the boy or girl who smiles
as soon as the first rays of the morning
sun glance in through the window,
gay, happy and kind. Such a boy will
be fit to ‘ ‘make up” into a man—at
least, when contrasted with the sullen,
morose, crabbed fellow, who snaps and
snarls like a surly cur, or growls and
grunts like a hyena, from the moment
he opens his angry eyes until he is con-fronted
by His breakfast. Such a girl,
other things being favorable, will be
good material to aid in gladdening
some comfortable home, or to refine,
civilize, humanize and tame a rude
brother, making him gentle, affection-ate
and loveable. It is a feat to even
look at such a joy inspiring girl, from
the parted lips, displaying a set of clean,
well brushed teeth, looking almost the
personification of beauty and good-ness,
singing, and as merry as the
birds that commenced their morning
concert long before the lazy boys
dreamed that the sun was approaching
and about to pour a whole flood of
light and warmth upon the earth.

Tribute to Vice-President Wilson.
Executive Mansion, Washington, |
November 22,1875. f
It is with profound sorrow that the Presi-dent
announces to the people of the United
States the death of Vice-President Henry
Wilson, who died in the capital of the na-tion
this auternoon. The high character of
the eminent deceased statesman, his long ca-reor
in the service of his State, his untiring
devotion to the cause of freedom, and the
ability which he brought to the discharge of
every duty, stand conspicuous and are in-delibly
impressed upon the hearts and affec-tions
of every American.
In testimony of respect for the this dis-tinguished
citizen and faithful public ser-vent,
the various departments of the Gov-ernment
will he closed on the day of the
funeral, and the Executive Mansion and all
the executive departments in Washington
will be draped with badges of mourning for
twenty days. The Secretary of War and
Secretary of Navy will issue orders that ap-propriate
m-'litary and naval honers be ren-dered
to the memory of one whose virtues
and.servlces wi’l long be borne In recogni-tion
by a grateful nation.
(Signed) U. S. Grant,
By the I resident.
Hamilton Fish,
Secretary of State.
Nearly all courts of the country will ad-journ.
In respect to Mr, Wilson, the Su-preme
Court of the United States will trans-act
no business this week.
Delegations have been appointed from va-rious
places to come to Washington to at-tend
the funeral ceremonies. The first
brigade of the Maryland National Guards
have tendered their set-vices to the Presi-dent
as guard end escort.
The Vice-President passed a quiet day
yesterday. He heard of Senator Ferris’ death
about 8 o’clock, which depressed han very
much. Before retiring to bed he referred
to it several times. He retired about half-past,
nine o’clock, and slept sound and
peaceful. At three o’clc ek this morning his
rest was disturbed by a pain in the chest,
which was relieved by rubbing his chest
with anodyne, which had been prescribed,
and again slept profoundly. He awoke pre-cisely
at seven o’clock, said he had slept
soundly, and was much refreshed. He sat
up in bed, took a glass of bitter water
which had been prescribed. Shortly after
this he arose and walked about the room.
The attendants noticed a change in Mr.
Wilson about a quarter-past, seven. He was
then lying in bed drawing short hurried
breaths, moving about nervously, and his
his limbs twitching convulsively.
It was noticed that his breathing grew

horter and weaker with each breath, and as
an attendant moved around the bed to sup-port
his head, he gave one long gasp and ex-piled.
Four times last night before five
o’clock he called for water, and drank a
glass full each time. Night before last he
complained of his old tremble: with pain at
the base of the brain, and remarked that he
must have more determined treatment, but
said nothing about it to the doctor. About
7 last night he said if the doctor were here
I would have a blister applied to the back of
my neck. From 8 to 9.30 his attendants
rubbed him thoroughly. He never liked to
be rubbed.
There is no evidence in the face that Mr.
Wilson suffered severely. His face wears
the usual pleasant expression.
A post mortem examination made by
the doctors, who came to the conclusion that
Mr. Wilson died of appoplexy. As to ex-ternal
appearances, there was nothing uuu-sual.
His brain weighed forty-nine ounces.

THE GRANGE DEPARTMENT.
GENERAL GRANGE INTELLIGENCE.
The National Grange is now in aes-sion
at Louisville, Ky.
A Grange cotton factory in or near
Natchez, Miss., is proposed, with a
capital of $60,000, in twenty-five dol-lar
shares.
At the next meeting of the Ells-worth
county (Kan.) Grange, the
question for discussion will be, “ rais-ing,
harvesting, and stacking grain.”
A wholesale boot and sjipb firm in
Elmira, N. Y., has increased its yearly
trade $50,000 by dealing directly with
the Patrons, for cash, and the Granges
dealing with them have saved 30 per
cent upon their purchases of boots and
shoes.
The Georgia Grange gleans'from the
official statistics the following: Only
twenty per cent, of the Georgia farm-ers
buy what they consume for cash.
The remainder, by purchasing what
they consume on credit, annually
waste the enormous sum of $4,350’,-
000.
Each Grange should keep a record
of real estate, produce, stock, etc., that
the members have for sale; also, a
record of such articles as outsiders
wish to purchase, thereby saving our
members much valuable time in hunt *-
ing up customers for their produce.
Articles of association of the Michi-gan
State Grange have been filled in
the office of the Secretary of State. Its
officers consist of a presiding Master,
Secretary and Treasurer, and it will
hold its annual meeting in December,
this year, at Lansing, when important
business will be transacted.
Master A. B. Smedley, of the Iowa
State Grange, says: ‘ ‘ When I see a
man of reasonable intelligence attend
his Grange for years, and listening to
the most interesting discussions on
fruit culture and tree planing, and
then visit his place and not find as
much as a currant bush, and not a tree .
to break the cold winter winds, I feel
as though I wanted to import from
South America a small earthquake to
stir him out of the old ruts and adopt a
more advanced method.”
The office of Secretary of the State
Grange is one of great importance to
the Order. In addition to the usual
duties devolving on the office, it should
be made the bureau of statistics. The
office should be located at the centre
of the State.—Cor. Indiana Farmer.
Sugar Ridge Grange, 621, of In-diana,
at a called session on the first
Saturday in this month, held a fair for
the benefit of the Patrons. There was
corn, wheat, potatoes, garden products
and butter plaeed on exhibitieff, for
which reasonable premiums were
awarded to the best samples by a com-mittee.
After the fair was over we
passed into the hall, where we fpun<\a
table extending clear across the room,
loaded down with the most tasteful
luxuries, which the good sisters had
prepared for the hungry Patrons, which
were much enjoyed.—Indiana Farmer.
WHAT NEXT?
Now that the Granges have been
organized to so great an extent, and in
many instances have imtiated nearly
all the farmers within their jurisdic-tion.
it is not time to think of enlarg-ing
its scope in accordance with the
originnal design of Us founders, On
page 24, of Brother O, H. Kelley’s
History of the Order, we find the fol-lowing:
As soon as lodge work is over open
the doors and admit the public, or have
regular evenings for the public to be
present, to listen to lectures or discus-sions,
and have these frequent, once a
week if possible. Let the Depart-ment
of Agriculture send out the
most capable and talented men in the
country, to lecture before the Grange
upon horticulture, etc., giving illus-trated
lectures, j Let each Grange have
a fair every fall, and require every
member to exhibit at least one bushel
of some kind of produce. This to be
property of the Grange and to be giv-en
to the poor under its charge.
We take pleasure in referring to this
subject as we believe it Jp.. be an es-sential
feature and one which if rightly
managed, will result in much good.
The lecture should be followed by an
informal off-hand discussion, and a
brisk fire of cross-questions would do
much to eliminate the truth from error,
and it would, be highly interesting to
the audieuce. As the season of the
year has arrived when a lecture course
should be instituted, we say let this
subject be taken up and considered,
and acted upon, and be at least one
answer to our pertinent inquiry, of
what next?
The Laclede still maintains its strong hold
upon the traveling public as the favorite ho-tel
in St. Louis. Mr. Malin, the proprietor,
is a prince of a “Mine Host,” and his clerks
ar>! not of the “stuck-up” sort. Guests are
treated with the utmost civility, and are
made to feel that the Laclede, for the time,
is their home. Of course, under such a
management, the table aud also the rooms
and beds are of the very best. sel7d&wtf

rpHANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
By tlieCiovernor of tlic State of Texas
With the closing days ol the year it
is meet and proper that a Christian
people put behind them the labor and
toil of their usual avocations, and
reverently bow in humble thankfulness
to the Giyer ol all good for the files-sings
and mercies he lias been pleased
to vouchsafe. While His chastening
hand has been laid heavily upon some,
abundant mercies have crowned t lie
year throughout this State in bountiful
crops, in freedom from pestilence, in
the preservation of our liberties, in the
general employment ot our people, and
in the ample rewards which follow
honest industry. With thankful hearts
let us make manifest our gratitude, by
a more earnest love of Him and an in-creased
charity for our neighbor, re-membering
that ‘-the whole world is a
family,” with God overall.
The President of the United States
having designated THURSDAY, NO-YR
AIDER 25, as a day of thanksgiving
and praise throughout the United
States, now, therefore, I, Richard
Coke, Governor of Texas, in accord-anee
with a custom which is inter-
Woven with our nutionol life, do re-commend
to the good people of the
State on that day to abstain from all
secular employment, to assemble in
their usual places of worship and
around their family hearthstones, and
while remembering to relieve from
their surplus store the necessities of
the poqr and friendless, to offer up
sinee’re and heartfelt thanks to the
Giver of all good for the manifold
blessings lie has been pleased to shower
upon us ns a people.
In testimony whereof, I have here-
, . unto signed my name and
j i„ s. v caused the great seal ot the
* -rv— ’ State to be aftixed, at the
city of Austin, the 17th day of Novcm-her,
in the year of our Loid, 1875,
and the independence of Texas the
fortieth. RICHARD COKE,
By the Governor: Governor.

LADIES’ DEPARTMENT,
KINDS OF TEAS.
Oolong teas are very highly dried, of
wiry, brittle leaf, and valued according
to the degree of strength they possess,
their pungency and freedom from dust.
Souchongs are the very strongest
black teas. Their leaves are large,
thin and often broken. The infusion
is clear, golden and quite aromatic.
Congou teas have small, short, gray-lshsblack
leaves.
Gunpowder is a heavy tea, of a dark,
green hue, and the leaves are rolled up
into hard halls.
Imperials are in larger grains than
are the gunpowders, and in color are of
a silvery-green.
ROSES.
Just now' we can with feeling sing
“The Last Rose of Summer.” Their
foliage, as well as the last bloom, will
soon be withered and dead. They
have now done their duty for the sea-son,
and surely deserve care that will
be most likely to bring them out in
the spring sound.
In latitude 45° we have seen the
teas. Bengals and -Bourbons, most of
which will be killed to the ground, if
not outright, when left unprotected,
easily saved witli a little care and labor.
Trim out the dead and surplus wood
and drive a stake in beside the stem;
then tie all the branches up to this in
as small a space as possible; then set
straw around, not less than three
inches thick; tie with twine or wire,
bank a little earth up around the stock
below, and cover the ground well with
litter of any kind.
For the straggling kinds that have
no branches to tie up, cover a foot
deep with fresh leaves and throw brush
on to keep ’ the wind from blowing
them away. A few hours’ work will
suffice to do this, for which anyone
will be well rewarded.
Bulbs should be packed away in fine
dry sand, and placed where frost can
not enter. Roses taken into the house
and bloomed during the winter, must
not be expected to bloom well early
next summer.
EVERTON TAFFY.
Put into a preserving pan or kettle
three ounces of very fresh butter; as
soon as it is just melted, put in a
pound of brown sugar. When half
done, add the grated rind of a lemon;
keep it stirred |gently on a very clear
fire, for fifteen minutes, or until if you
drop it on a plate it will break quickly.
FRECKLES.
Small round freckles can be removed
by the application of chloride water
every night aud morning, allowing it
to dry in. For the more dense ones,
chloride of lime, one to ten, fifteen or
twenty parts of water, according to the
sensitiveness of the skin. When
using the stronger solutions, merely
touch the spots with a moistened cam-el’s
hair brush.
IMMORTALITY OF THE BEAUTIFUL.
There is nothing—no, nothing—
beautiful that dies and is forgotten.
An infant, a prattling child dying in
its cradle, will live again in the better
thoughts of those who loved it, and
play its part, though the body be
burned to ashes or drowned- in the
deepest sea. There is not an angel
added to the blessed hosts of heaven
but does its blessed work on earth in
those who loved it here. Dead!'oh,
if the good deeds of human creatures
could be traced to their source, how
beautiful would even death appear,
for how much charity, mercy and puri-fied
affection would be seen to have
their growth in dusty graves.
LAUGHING CHILDREN.
Give me the boy or girl who smiles
as soon as the first rays of the morning
sun glance in through the window,
gay, happy and kind. Such a boy will
be fit to ‘ ‘make up” into a man—at
least, when contrasted with the sullen,
morose, crabbed fellow, who snaps and
snarls like a surly cur, or growls and
grunts like a hyena, from the moment
he opens his angry eyes until he is con-fronted
by His breakfast. Such a girl,
other things being favorable, will be
good material to aid in gladdening
some comfortable home, or to refine,
civilize, humanize and tame a rude
brother, making him gentle, affection-ate
and loveable. It is a feat to even
look at such a joy inspiring girl, from
the parted lips, displaying a set of clean,
well brushed teeth, looking almost the
personification of beauty and good-ness,
singing, and as merry as the
birds that commenced their morning
concert long before the lazy boys
dreamed that the sun was approaching
and about to pour a whole flood of
light and warmth upon the earth.

Tribute to Vice-President Wilson.
Executive Mansion, Washington, |
November 22,1875. f
It is with profound sorrow that the Presi-dent
announces to the people of the United
States the death of Vice-President Henry
Wilson, who died in the capital of the na-tion
this auternoon. The high character of
the eminent deceased statesman, his long ca-reor
in the service of his State, his untiring
devotion to the cause of freedom, and the
ability which he brought to the discharge of
every duty, stand conspicuous and are in-delibly
impressed upon the hearts and affec-tions
of every American.
In testimony of respect for the this dis-tinguished
citizen and faithful public ser-vent,
the various departments of the Gov-ernment
will he closed on the day of the
funeral, and the Executive Mansion and all
the executive departments in Washington
will be draped with badges of mourning for
twenty days. The Secretary of War and
Secretary of Navy will issue orders that ap-propriate
m-'litary and naval honers be ren-dered
to the memory of one whose virtues
and.servlces wi’l long be borne In recogni-tion
by a grateful nation.
(Signed) U. S. Grant,
By the I resident.
Hamilton Fish,
Secretary of State.
Nearly all courts of the country will ad-journ.
In respect to Mr, Wilson, the Su-preme
Court of the United States will trans-act
no business this week.
Delegations have been appointed from va-rious
places to come to Washington to at-tend
the funeral ceremonies. The first
brigade of the Maryland National Guards
have tendered their set-vices to the Presi-dent
as guard end escort.
The Vice-President passed a quiet day
yesterday. He heard of Senator Ferris’ death
about 8 o’clock, which depressed han very
much. Before retiring to bed he referred
to it several times. He retired about half-past,
nine o’clock, and slept sound and
peaceful. At three o’clc ek this morning his
rest was disturbed by a pain in the chest,
which was relieved by rubbing his chest
with anodyne, which had been prescribed,
and again slept profoundly. He awoke pre-cisely
at seven o’clock, said he had slept
soundly, and was much refreshed. He sat
up in bed, took a glass of bitter water
which had been prescribed. Shortly after
this he arose and walked about the room.
The attendants noticed a change in Mr.
Wilson about a quarter-past, seven. He was
then lying in bed drawing short hurried
breaths, moving about nervously, and his
his limbs twitching convulsively.
It was noticed that his breathing grew

horter and weaker with each breath, and as
an attendant moved around the bed to sup-port
his head, he gave one long gasp and ex-piled.
Four times last night before five
o’clock he called for water, and drank a
glass full each time. Night before last he
complained of his old tremble: with pain at
the base of the brain, and remarked that he
must have more determined treatment, but
said nothing about it to the doctor. About
7 last night he said if the doctor were here
I would have a blister applied to the back of
my neck. From 8 to 9.30 his attendants
rubbed him thoroughly. He never liked to
be rubbed.
There is no evidence in the face that Mr.
Wilson suffered severely. His face wears
the usual pleasant expression.
A post mortem examination made by
the doctors, who came to the conclusion that
Mr. Wilson died of appoplexy. As to ex-ternal
appearances, there was nothing uuu-sual.
His brain weighed forty-nine ounces.

THE GRANGE DEPARTMENT.
GENERAL GRANGE INTELLIGENCE.
The National Grange is now in aes-sion
at Louisville, Ky.
A Grange cotton factory in or near
Natchez, Miss., is proposed, with a
capital of $60,000, in twenty-five dol-lar
shares.
At the next meeting of the Ells-worth
county (Kan.) Grange, the
question for discussion will be, “ rais-ing,
harvesting, and stacking grain.”
A wholesale boot and sjipb firm in
Elmira, N. Y., has increased its yearly
trade $50,000 by dealing directly with
the Patrons, for cash, and the Granges
dealing with them have saved 30 per
cent upon their purchases of boots and
shoes.
The Georgia Grange gleans'from the
official statistics the following: Only
twenty per cent, of the Georgia farm-ers
buy what they consume for cash.
The remainder, by purchasing what
they consume on credit, annually
waste the enormous sum of $4,350’,-
000.
Each Grange should keep a record
of real estate, produce, stock, etc., that
the members have for sale; also, a
record of such articles as outsiders
wish to purchase, thereby saving our
members much valuable time in hunt *-

Articles of association of the Michi-gan
State Grange have been filled in
the office of the Secretary of State. Its
officers consist of a presiding Master,
Secretary and Treasurer, and it will
hold its annual meeting in December,
this year, at Lansing, when important
business will be transacted.
Master A. B. Smedley, of the Iowa
State Grange, says: ‘ ‘ When I see a
man of reasonable intelligence attend
his Grange for years, and listening to
the most interesting discussions on
fruit culture and tree planing, and
then visit his place and not find as
much as a currant bush, and not a tree .
to break the cold winter winds, I feel
as though I wanted to import from
South America a small earthquake to
stir him out of the old ruts and adopt a
more advanced method.”
The office of Secretary of the State
Grange is one of great importance to
the Order. In addition to the usual
duties devolving on the office, it should
be made the bureau of statistics. The
office should be located at the centre
of the State.—Cor. Indiana Farmer.
